Key Features
Using a "learning style" approach, students are encouraged
to identify and utilise their strengths to overcome areas of weakness.
The program includes many exercises to involve users in interactive
learning. The wide attraction of the program results from the sophisticated,
yet amusing, approaches used.
The program is not intended to teach basic reading skills, but all
printed screens are accompanied by 'voiceovers', reducing the need
for excessive reading. Aimed primarily at dyslexic undergraduates,
Wordswork will also appeal to students in upper secondary, tertiary
and further education.
In addition, dyslexic adults wanting to improve skills before embarking
on formal study will benefit from this program.
